Quick scalloped zucchini bake … A good side dish for Chrissy day !
Very Simple, very tasty, slightly cheesy and creamy. This dish uses the milk allowance from the beverage section of the Optifast allowed foods list, half a serve per serve to be exact. I have not used milk before, but wanted something different than cauliflower puree. Could be a good one for the Xmas roast lunch as a side dish.
If you are a vegan, replace with almond or coconut milk. If you are on intensive and choosing not to use any milk allowance, simply replace with stock.
Doesn’t freeze well, no zucchini does, so need to make on the day or day before. But it is super quick n easy.
Enjoy !
